A
Well,
thank
you
for
attending
today's
ask
the
expert
session
today
we'll
be
covering
job
searching
from
the
perspective
of
a
high
school
student
and
a
college
student.
So
we
are
recording
today's
session,
so
those
that
are
unable
to
make
it
today
can
view
it.
At
a
later
time
we
will
have
opportunities
for
questions,
but
please
feel
free
to
use
the
chat
feature
to
post
your
questions
as
well.
B
Wonderful
well,
thank
you
so
much
lori
we're
excited
to
be
here
today.
First
and
foremost,
one
thing
that
I
want
to
share
is,
if
you
take
away
nothing
else
from
today's
session,
do
not
recreate
the
wheel.
B
There
are
so
many
resources
out
there
and
so
much
of
that
we're
going
to
highlight
today,
but,
for
example,
if
you're
looking
to
start
your
career
as
a
graphic
designer
search
up
graphic
designer
sample,
resumes
and
use
that
as
a
benchmark,
so
that
you're
really
able
to
capture
a
lot
of
the
things
that
you
you
have
experience
with,
that
you
may
not,
that
you
may
not
remember,
or
you
know,
and
and
benchmarking
from
them
can
be
very,
very
helpful.
B
Secondly,
use
the
kiss
method.
Keep
it
simple
right
there
are.
There
are
four
different
sections,
basic
sections
that
I
recommend
that
you
use
in
a
resume.
That's
going
to
be
your
contact
information,
summary
statement,
education
and
skills
and
work
experience
decide
on
the
resume
format.
There
are
two
main
formats
that
you
can
use
a
chronological
resume,
which
is
experience
in
reverse
order
and
then
functional
which
really
highlights
the
skills
and
achievements
rather
than
the
experience.
B
That's
really
got
great
eyes
for
grammatical
errors,
punctuation
errors,
just
as
a
second
pair
of
eyes
to
look
at
your
resume
use,
consistent,
formatting
one
inch,
margins,
11
or
12.5
and
bullet
points
are
your
friend
and
unless
you're
applying
for
a
creative
role
such
as
an
artist,
do
not
use
fancy
formats,
fonts
or
tables
they
do
not
convert
well.
When
applying
online
contact
information
make
sure
your
contact
information
is
correct.
It
sounds
silly,
it
sounds
simplistic,
but
it
happens
more
times
than
it
should.
B
I
can't
tell
you
the
number
of
times
that
I've
called
in
either
them
the
voicemail
is
not
professional
or
there's
no
additional
room
for
me
to
even
leave
a
voicemail
for
someone,
I'm
probably
not
going
to
go
back
to
that
candidate,
because
again,
I've
got
20
or
30
candidates
behind
that
person
that
I
can
that
I
can
move
on
to
all
right
and
then
the
same
goes
when
it
comes
to
that
professional
piece.
The
same
goes
for
your
email
address.
Ask
yourself
if
it's
audience
appropriate
rule
of
thumb.
B
B
I
was
just
talking
with
someone
yesterday
who's
getting
ready
to
graduate
in
may
from
college,
and
he
used
his
first
name
last
name:
dot
business
gmail.com,
it's
distinguishable,
it's
professional.
He
was
a
business
degree
graduate
or
will
be
a
business
degree
graduate,
and
so
it
made
sense
and
never
introduced
bias.
So
what
I
mean
by
that
is,
for
example,
if
you
have
first
name
last
name
and
the
year,
you
were
born
you're
immediately
introducing
bias,
and
you
don't
want
to
do
that.
B
Then
qualifications
do
not
always
make
the
hire.
So
you
have
to
think
about
what
sets
you
apart.
Do
not
do
your
research
study,
the
job
description,
the
company,
the
mission,
the
vision
and
look
for
specific
keywords
and
requirements
that
align
you
with
the
skills
and
talents
that
the
that
the
company
is
looking
for
from
babysitting
and
lawn
mowing.
Volunteering
work
to
extract
activities
such
as
clubs
and
sports.
B
You
should
include
all
previous
experience
that
illustrates
your
work
ethic
and
your
ability
to
participate
in
team-based
activities
and
a
reminder
to
include
your
enthusiasm,
desire
and
energy
and
passion,
highlight
any
experience
that
showcases
your
discipline,
commitment
and
willing
to
work
hard
and,
lastly,
for
this
particular
side
check
twice
and
apply
once
all
right,
all
right.
So
now
what
we're
going
to
do
is
we're
going
to
move
on
to
a
sample
high
school
resume
again
you're,
going
to
notice
that
it's
broken
out
into
four
sections.
B
First
and
foremost,
contact
information
notice
that
we
added
linkedin
and
twitter
not
required
yet
highly
recommended.
There's
a
lot
of
great
youtube
videos
and
there
are
other
online
resources
out
there
to
help
you
set
up
and
build
your
profession,
your
professional
linkedin
profile,
also
as
you're
doing
it
linkedin
does
a
really
great
job
of
walking
you
through
it
as
well.
So
it's
really
worth
checking
out.
B
Secondly,
we
have
that
career
objective.
This
is
your
sales
pitch
very
important.
It
gives
employers
a
clear
idea
of
why
you're
applying
for
the
role
and
how
their
decision
to
hire
you
could
be
beneficial.
B
B
You
want
to
include
not
only
the
responsibilities
of
the
job
but
quantifiable
accomplishments
relative
to
the
job
that
you're
applying
for,
for
example,
under
this
first
job
raise
two
thousand
dollars
annually
for
homeless
for
homeless
animals
again
quantifying
an
accomplishment.
It
really
shows
that
you
go
above
and
beyond.
B
Right
and
then
at
the
very
bottom
also
notice
the
hard
skills
and
the
soft
skills
both
are
very
important
and
hard
skills.
Let's
say,
for
example,
you're
applying
for
an
internship
as
a
graphic
designer
things
that
you
want
to
include
are
probably
going
to
be
photoshop,
indesign
logo
creation,
things
of
that
nature
and
then
soft
skills
wise.
These
are
the
skills
that
are
rooted
in
your
personality
and
are
not
often
and
not
easily
taught.
B
So
it's
active
listening.
It's
verbal
communication,
accepting
constructive
criticism,
customer
service
problem
solving
anything
like
that.
All
right.
Okay,
now
we're
going
to
move
on
to
the
college
grad
resume
again
same
general
sections.
You
have
contact
information
notice
in
the
summary
or
profile
statement,
slash
career,
objective
statement.
This
is
going
to
be
a
little
bit
more
robust,
potentially
notice
that
they've
included
the
internship
experience
that
highlights
right
away.
B
First
sentence
summary
also
includes
the
role
that
the
candidate
is
applying
for
and
any
relevant
hard
skills
applicable
to
the
job,
and
then
the
canada
also
moves
into
soft
skills
by
using
such
words
as
detail-oriented
all
right,
education
section
not
much
difference
here
either.
One
thing
that
I
do
want
to
mention
is
that,
once
you
have
moved
on
to
your
college
career,
you
can
you
do
not
have
to
mention
your
high
school
career
any
longer.
B
Employers
are
really
more
interested
in
the
activities
that
you
participated
in
during
your
college
career.
At
this
point
now,
with
that
being
said,
there's
always
exceptions
to
every
rule
right
and,
if,
for
whatever
reason,
there's
a
lot
of
applicable
experience
that
you
want
to
bring
in
from
your
high
school
days.
That's
fine,
too
professional
experience,
and
then
last
but
not
least,
you
have
additional
skills
that
are
included
at
the
bottom
of
the
resume.
B
One
thing
that
we
recommend
is
that
you
want
to
include
keywords
that
are
searchable
so
again
back
to
those
hard
skills
and
soft
skills,
make
sure
that
any
applicable
and
relevant
keywords
that
are
applicable
to
the
job
that
you
have
included
in
your
resume
as
well
all
right
and
then
applying
for
the
job
before
applying
for
the
position.
Consider
your
current
contacts
or
connections.
B
Think
of
friends
and
families
that
you
know,
family
members,
that
you
know
that
might
have
a
connection
with
the
targeted
company
that
can
vouch
for
you.
Becky's
gonna
talk
to
you
in
more
depth
about
the
value
of
networking
here
in
just
a
minute
prepare
for
rejection.
Oh
goodness,
I
can't
say
enough
about
this
when
I
graduated
from
college.
B
If
you
get
a
rejection
from
a
company,
the
best
thing
that
you
can
do
for
yourself
is
to
thank
them
for
their
time,
and
let
them
know
that
you
have
interest
in
future
opportunities
never
burn
a
bridge.
This
is
a
small
big
world
and
six
degrees
of
separation
is
a
real
thing.
Never
underestimate
the
power
of
follow-up.
B
It
is
acceptable
and
shows
your
interest
to
follow
up
every.
I
don't
know
seven
to
ten
days,
probably
when
you're
still
in
consideration
for
a
position
or
as
appropriate,
based
on
the
conversation
with
the
recruiting,
recruiter
or
the
manager
of
that
role
and
make
a
list
of
the
places
that
you've
applied
and
stay
organized.
B
This
is
really
important,
especially
if
you're
working
with
a
third
party,
because
what
you
don't
want
to
do
is
to
apply
for
a
job
online
with
an
employer,
get
a
call
from
a
third-party
recruiter
and
have
them
submit
you
to
it.
Never
looks
favorable
for
you.
If
you
don't
look
like
you
are
organized
with
the
positions
that
you
apply
for
all
right,
so
that
is
it
for
this
particular
section
and
now
becky
is
going
to
talk
to
you
about
networking
all.
C
Right,
thank
you
marcie.
I
know
we
have
so
much
content
to
cover
today.
Everything
could
be
its
own
session,
so
if
we
are
flying
along
just
know
that
there's
so
much
more
that
you
can
dive
into
any
of
the
topics
that
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
today.
But
what
I
want
to
talk
about
really
is
how
to
set
yourself
apart,
and
I
do
want
to
kind
of
touch
base
on
something
that
marty
just
mentioned
of
you
know
preparing
for
a
rejection.
C
I
also
want
you
to
prepare
for
waiting,
so
you
know,
as
you
think,
you're
going
to
graduate
and
you're
going
to
set
the
world
on
fire
and
you're
going
to
get
that
job.
It
might
not
happen
in
the
time
frame
that
you
have
in
your
mind,
so
be
patient
and
be
positive.
Some
of
the
stuff
that
I'm
going
to
talk
to
you
about
is
going
to
help
set
you
apart,
so
that
maybe
things
will
move
more
quickly
because
of
how
you
are
presenting
yourself
and
how
you
are
using
your
connections.
C
So
you
really
need
to
learn
how
to
talk
about
yourself,
and
you
need
to
be
able
to
talk
about
yourself
in
a
concise
way,
because
you
have
just
just
a
little
bit
of
time
to
make
an
impression
whether
it's
on
your
resume,
whether
it's
on
a
virtual
meeting,
whether
it's
shaking
someone's
hand
when
we
can
do
that
at
some
point
in
the
future.
C
You
need
to
be
able
to
say
a
little
bit
more
than
that
and
it
starts
with
really
writing
your
story,
and
this
is
not
something
that
we're
going
to
do
today.
This
is
a
kind
of
takeaway
activity
for
you
to
do,
but
it's
really
putting
together
that
summary
that
you're
going
to
put
at
the
top
of
your
resume
that
you're
going
to
use
as
a
virtual
introduction
lots
of
different
ways
that
you
can
use
this.
C
C
You
want
to
be
yourself,
as
you
are
as
you're
doing
this,
and
here
are
some
questions
to
really
kind
of
help
guide
you
through
that
and
to
share
something
personal
and
to
really
start
to
build
that
connection,
and
another
thing
that's
helpful
is
really
to
start
with
the
end
in
mind
when
someone
is
looking
at
your
profile
on
linkedin
or
if
they're
reading
your
resume.
C
Make
sure
that
that's
in
that
summary,
I
also
have
another
list
of
questions
to
really
help
you
with
writing
that
story,
and
one
of
them
that,
I
think
is
really
important
here
is
how
would
you
describe
what
you
do
to
someone
who's
completely
unfamiliar
with
with
what
you
do
and
where
you've
been,
you
really
need
to
learn
to
boil
that
down
into
language
that
that
everyone
will
understand
and
not
just
kind
of
what
you've
learned
in
your
experience,
you
need
to
be
able
to
break
it
down
and
tell
that
story.
C
What
do
you
love
most
about
what
you
do?
What
motivates
you?
This
is
how
you
bring
your
passion
and
your
energy
to
your
summary,
as
marcy
mentioned,
that
your
resume
is
not
just
a
a
list
of
your
kind
of
accomplishments
and
your
work
experience,
but
really
your
passion
and
your
energy
and
where
you
want
to
go.
C
I
do
have
a
couple
of
examples,
just
like
marcy
did
of
some
college
grads
and
who
wrote
their
their
story
by
using
those
questions,
and
I
think
what's
important
here
is
you
know
really
saying
what
other
people
have
thought
of
your
work
and
as
a
high
school
grad
and
a
college
grad.
C
You
might
not
have
a
lot
of
employers
who
have
given
you
feedback,
but
you
definitely
have
teachers
and
coaches
make
sure
that
you're
utilizing
the
feedback
from
from
those
individuals
to
showcase
your
work
and
to
showcase
how
you
show
up
in
the
workplace.
C
Another
example
here
from
a
college
grad,
I'm
sharing
his
experience,
sharing
where
he
wants
to
go
and
what
he
can
contribute
in
the
work
environment,
a
positive
attitude,
strong
work
ethic
and
again
touching
on
what
his
managers
and
co-workers
would
say
about
him
and,
as
we
all
know,
all
good
stories
have
a
title.
So
after
you
start
to
craft
that
story
make
sure
that
you
share
it.
With
someone
close
to
you
to
say:
do
you
have
any
questions?
Is
there
anything
that
I
missed?
C
C
So
on
the
slide
here
you
see
my
deadline,
marcy's
and
jenny's
and
they're
all
very
different
and
that's
purposeful,
because
this
is
sharing
who
we
are
uniquely
and
individually
and
so
make
sure
you
give
some
time
and
some
thought
to
what
your
professional
helpline
is,
so
that
if
it
has
someone
take
a
look
at
that
and
walk
away
with
gosh.
You
know
I
really
want
to
get
to
know
becky
and
marcy
and
jenny.
C
So,
as
I
mentioned
some
ways
to
use
your
story
in
personal
introduction
as
a
summary
on
your
resume
and
then
lastly,
on
your
linkedin
profile,
your
linkedin
profile
is
something
that
you
should
also
walk
away
with
to
do
after
this.
If
you
don't
have
a
linkedin
profile
again,
just
google
they'll
walk
you
through
it
and
and
really
get
that
summary
out
there
as
a
starting
point
to
start
to
build
out
that
profile.
C
So
next,
let's
just
talk
through
some
networking
strategies.
Getting
active
on
linkedin
again
is
the
first
step,
but
also
really
planning
for
those
purposeful
connections
and
learning
the
art
of
the
informational
interview.
You
don't
need
to
apply
for
every
job
you
see.
C
Sometimes
you
just
need
to
have
a
conversation
with
someone
about
what
it's
like
to
work
in
that
field,
at
that
company
etc,
and
then,
lastly,
volunteering,
when
it
comes
to
linkedin,
you
don't
have
to
be
the
person
who
posts
three
times
a
day,
but
you
do
need
to
have
a
profile
out
there
and
you
do
need
to
get
active
with
liking
and
reading
and
sharing
other
people's
materials.
C
I
do
have
a
challenge
for
all
of
you
and
to
plan
for
purposeful
connection.
So
a
30-day
networking
challenge
reach
out
to
someone
in
a
field
that
you're
interested
in
and
reach
out
to
someone
who
has
a
job
that
you've
heard
them
talk
about,
but
you
really
have
never
had
a
conversation
and
just
learn
more
about
it
and
maybe
reach
out
to
someone
who
works
at
a
company
that
you've
always
admired
and
reach
out
to
someone
who
just
landed
their
first
job
and
asked
them.
You
know
what
should
I
do.
C
You
know
what
are
some
tips
you
have
for
me
and
talk
to
someone
who's
changed
careers
over
the
course
of
their
of
their
professional
life,
and
there's
lots
of
other
things
to
think
about
here.
But
planning
for
purposeful
connections
will
really
create
that
list
for
you
to
start
to
go
out
and
have
these
informational
interviews,
so
an
informational
interview
is
very
different
than
applying
for
a
job.
C
It
is
really
just
an
informal
meeting
to
talk
about
real
world
experiences
with
someone,
and
I
think
it's
important
to
make
the
distinction
here
that
your
objective
in
an
informational
interview
is
to
get
advice
and
to
just
have
a
conversation
with
someone.
It's
not
to
get
a
job
so
make
sure
that
you
make
that
clear
that
that
that's
not
what
you're
looking
for.
It's
really
just
a
conversation
to
get
to
know
one
another
and
to
get
some
advice
from
someone
in
that
field
at
that
company,
but
prepare
for
it.
C
The
same
way
that
you
would
prefer
prepare
for
an
actual
interview
and
jenny's
gonna
share
more
about
that.
So
I'm
not
gonna
go
into
detail
about
how
to
prepare
for
an
interview,
because
she's
going
to
cover
that,
but
the
next
two
slides
here
I'm
going
to
go
through
some
questions
that
you
might
want
to
consider
as
you
prepare
for
this
informational
interview.
So
ask
ask
these
individuals
what
kind
of
problems
they
deal
with.
C
You
know
what
do
they
like
best
or
least
about
their
work,
and
what
are
some
current
trends
and
issues
in
the
field
that
that
you
should
become
aware
of,
and
you
know
what
steps
would
you
recommend
I
take
to
prepare
to
enter
this
field
and
and
ask
them?
You
know
how
it
went
for
them.
If
you
could
do
it
all
over
again,
would
you
choose
the
same
path?
If
not,
what
would
you
change
and
just
learn
about
their
life
experiences?
C
So
after
you
prepare
for
these
informational
interviews,
the
follow-up
is
just
the
same
as
it
would
be
for
a
job
interview.
Make
sure
that
you
are
taking
note
of
what
you
learned
thanking
them
for
their
time.
It
can
be
an
email
jenny's
going
to
mention.
That's
just
fine
to
have
email,
a
handwritten
note
if
you'd
like
and
make
sure
you
keep
in
touch.
Networking
is
not
always
about
creating
more
connections,
but
it's
about
purposeful
connections
and
maintaining
relationships
that
are
worthwhile
so
make
sure
you
keep
in
touch
and
then,
lastly
get
involved.
C
You
know
if
you
are
having
trouble
landing
a
job
after
college
or,
if
you're,
just
looking
for
ways
to
beef
up
your
resume
as
a
high
school
graduate.
You
know
look
for
opportunities
to
get
involved.
It
might
be
an
employee
report
group.
At
your
current
employer.
C
There
may
be
special
projects
that
you
can
raise
your
hand
for,
and
look
for,
causes
that
are
important
to
you
there,
even
our
virtual
opportunities
to
volunteer,
and
you
can
find
a
lot
of
opportunities
through
the
united
way
and
if
you
just
go
to
their
website
and
or
consider
if
you're,
a
college
grad
consider
joining
a
professional
organization
in
your
field
of
interest.
It's
a
great
way
to
get
to
know
people
that
might
help
you
land
your
first
job.
C
D
Well,
marcy
and
becky
got
us
to
the
interview
point,
and
so
now
the
company's
called
then
you're
ready
for
an
interview
before
you
panic.
Let's
just
take
a
deep
breath
and
figure
out
how
to
best
prepare
for
this.
So
the
first
thing
you
want
to
keep
in
mind
is
that
this
is
a
two-way
conversation.
It
is
not
all
about
the
company,
nor
is
it
all
about
you.
This
needs
to
be
a
fit
for
both
of
you
and
when
it's
your
first
job,
you
tend
to
be
a
little
more
eager,
possibly
desperate.
D
So
you
want
to
dial
that
back
a
little
bit
and
make
sure
think
of
it.
Like
a
date.
Is
this
someone
you
want
to
continue
moving
forward
with
then
you're
gonna?
Do
your
research
plan
and
practice?
I'm
tripping
sorry,
so
you
need
to
be
prepared
for
this
interview.
First
step
is
research,
so
you
all
know
how
to
do
these
things.
You
need
to
look
at
the
company's
web
page
check
out
their
history,
their
values,
what
they
say
about
their
culture.
D
If
there's
anything
going
on
in
the
news,
a
lot
of
companies
have
that
recent.
In
the
news
things
look
on
linkedin
at
the
profiles
of
the
people,
you'll
be
interviewing
with
take
a
glance
at
how
long
they've
been
there
did
they
advance
in
their
career
to
get
there.
Was
this
a
change
for
them
so
that
you
can
have
relevant
questions?
D
Then
you
need
to
prepare
for
the
interview,
questions,
you're
gonna
get
to
tell
me
about
yourself.
You're
gonna
get
the.
Why
do
you
want
this
job
or
why
are
you
qualified
for
this
job
and
then
likely
there'll?
Be
some
behavior-based
interview
questions
just
like
everything
else.
There
are
a
ton
of
samples
of
these
out
on
the
internet.
What
you
want
to
do
is
look
through
those
questions
think
through
your
life
so
far,
so
that
tell
me
about
a
time
you
dealt
with
conflict
well
you're
in
high
school.
D
In
group
projects,
you've
had
it
on
your
swim
team
think
through
that
and
how
that
could?
What
you've
learned
through
that
appeal
to
an
employer
that
you've
kept
a
level
head
that
you
were
negotiating,
that
everyone
worked
together
well
jot
down
a
few
notes
for
what
your
answers
might
be.
For
these
questions
don't
script
it
all
out,
don't
try
to
write
down
sentences,
just
some
notes
so
that
it
can
free
flow
as
you're
in
the
interview
that
tell
me
about
yourself
piece
that
should
be
a
two-minute
version
of
your
story.
D
Do
not
ramble
on
for
10
minutes
use
your
becky!
You
created
a
story,
there's
your
intro!
So
what
is
about
you?
Why
do
you
want
this
job?
It
might
be
because
you
need
a
job,
but
let's
not
say
that.
Let's
go
with
what
about
that?
Company
appeals
to
you.
What
about
that
job
appeals
to
you
and
then
just
keep
moving
forward?
You
should
know
also
that
the
company
is
researching
you,
so,
whatever
profile
information
you
have
online
that's
available
to
them
as
well,
so
be
prepared
to
answer
anything
relevant
to
your
contents.
D
I'm
not
telling
you
what
to
put
out
there
or
not
to
put
out
there,
but
just
know
they
can
look
up
youtube.
So
then
you
need
to
plan
plan
the
logistics
of
your
interview.
What
are
you
going
to
wear,
regardless
of
zoomer
in
person
you
need
to
be
professional,
it
doesn't
always
mean
a
full
suit,
but
it
definitely
means
not
a
t-shirt
if
you're
and
I'm
sorry
about
the
dog.
If
you
can
hear
that
perfect
timing,
if
the
interview
is
in
person,
you
should
map
your
route
and
drive
it.
How
long
does
it
take?
D
When
should
you
leave
if
it's
on
zoom
test
your
connection?
Look
at?
What's
behind
you?
If
you
don't
have
a
clear
space
put
up
one
of
those
backgrounds,
make
it
look
professional?
Where
can
you
set
your
notes
so
that
you
can
look
directly
at
the
camera?
No
one
wants
to
do
an
interview
with
the
person.
Looking
this
way
the
whole
time,
because
their
notes
are
over
here,
so
you
need
to
be
able
to
face
the
camera.
D
Do
you
have
a
pen
and
a
notebook
extra
copies
of
your
resume
if
you're
in
person,
if
you're
also
in
person,
you
have
the
phone
number
for
the
main
contact?
Should
you
run
late
and
then
the
practice
part?
Yes,
this
is
awkward,
but
it's
definitely
worth
it
practice
with
a
friend.
Have
them
ask
you,
questions
honestly
practice
saying
the
answers
to
your
questions
out
loud.
You
can
use
the
voice
record
feature
on
your
phone
so
that
you
can
see
if
you're
doing
something
awkward
if
it
doesn't
flow.
D
You
should
also
have
questions
prepared
for
the
interviewer
think
about
what
you
would
want
to
know
about
that
company
or
that
person
that
may
be
your
hiring
manager.
So
why
did
you
choose
to
work
here?
What
keeps
you
here?
What
does
success?
Look
like
in
this
role?
What
are
they
expecting
you
to
do
when
you
come
in
the
door
and
then
always
wrap
up
with?
Do
they
have
any
concerns
about
you
that
you
haven't
addressed?
D
In
this
conversation,
so
now
that
you're
prepared
it's
the
day
of
the
interview
so
be
on
time
in
person
be
early.
Sometimes
things
happen.
That's
life
traffic
accidents.
You
need
to
call
ask
if
they
want
to
reschedule
if
you
should
continue
and
be
late
with
the
zoom
be
on
time
as
well.
Maybe
five
to
ten
minutes
early,
not
a
bad
thing,
be
respectful
in
person,
wear
a
mask.
If
that's
what
they're
doing.
A
D
They're
comfortable
shaking
hands
and
you're
comfortable
shaking
hands
do
so
it's
a
little
awkward
right
now,
but
it'll
get
better
if
it's
a
zoom,
you
need
to
log
in
and
be
ready
review
your
notes
and
be
patient
and,
most
importantly,
be
present.
So
silence
your
phone
silence
that
smart
watch.
D
D
I
say
less
is
more
in
any
answer.
You
can
always
share
additional
details,
but
there's
a
lot
of
feedback.
We
get
they
rambled
on
for
10
minutes
and
we
didn't
even
know
what
they
were
talking
about.
So
succinctly
answer
your
question.
If
it
doesn't
seem
like
it's
landing,
look
at
the
faces
and
say:
is
there
something
else
I
can
offer
or
clarify
for
you
and
be
grateful?
D
Thank
everyone
you
meet
with
if
they're
ask
if
they're
comfortable,
sharing
their
email
address,
if
they
don't
want
to,
you
can
go
back
through
your
main
contact
and
ask
them
to
share
the
thank
you
notes
and
even
if
you
think
this
interview
went
horribly,
thank
them
for
their
time.
You
don't
know
when
you're
going
to
need
someone
in
the
future.
D
So
after
the
interview
you
want
to
send
a
thank
you
note,
I
would
recommend
waiting
24
hours,
but
that's
it
before
you
send
a
thank
you
note
and
the
reason
I
recommend
the
waiting
part
is.
You
are
probably
replaying
this
interview
in
your
mind
and
you're
thinking
of
things
you
should
have
could
have
said
if
you
wait
24
hours
and
think
it
a
little
more
objectively
you'll
realize.
Okay,
I
should
have
gone
in
deeper
on
just
this
one
area.
D
You
can
address
that
in
your
thank
you
note
take
a
kind
lens
to
yourself,
but
basically
you
want
to
type
a
three
to
five
sentence:
email
thank
them
for
their
time,
share
what
you
learned
that
you're
still
interested
in
the
role.
What
about
that
rolling
company
appeals
to
you
and
then,
if
you
needed
to
clarify
something
else,
share
that
then
follow
up
with
your
point
of
contact,
whether
it's
the
hiring
manager,
the
recruiter
or
a
third-party
recruiter
at
the
agreed-upon
timeline.
D
Generally
speaking,
when
you're
leaving
they'll
tell
you
what
next
steps
will
look
like
and
when
you
can
expect
that,
if
you
don't
hear
anything
in
a
week,
that's
a
fair
time
to
reach
out
do
not
stalk
your
hiring
manager
daily.
That's
just
a
little
bit
annoying
as
as
we
as
becky
mentioned
at
her
part,
it's
time
to
be
patient.
D
Fantastic,
what
you
need
to
know
is
this:
the
minute
you're
given
an
offer.
You
do
not
have
to
accept
it
right
then,
and
there
and
quite
honestly,
much
like
the
24
hour.
Thank
you
note.
It's
a
good
idea
to
say:
I'm
really
excited.
I
appreciate
this
offer.
Can
I
have
a
day
to
think
on
it?
That
gives
you
time
to
feel
like.
Is
this
the
best
move
for
you?
Are
you
jumping,
because
you
need
a
job
and
that
can
be
okay
too,
but
to
really
figure
out
what's
happening.
D
This
is
your
only
opportunity
to
negotiate
your
salary
while
I'm
a
big
fan
of
that,
I
also
have
to
say
a
lot
of
times.
Entry-Level
jobs
are
what
they
are.
So
if
it's
in
the
range
that
they
told
you
about,
you
might
just
want
to
take
it,
there's
a
lot
of
tools
out
there
for
negotiating
your
salary.
D
But
this
is
the
only
time
to
do
it
and
then,
when
you
are
ready
to
accept
their
offer,
you're
likely
to
get
it
in
writing
and
that's
when
you'll
sign
and
accept
and
commit,
and
that's
where
I'd
like
to
share
that
you
need
to
be
committed
to
that.
Do
not
continue
interviewing
with
other
companies,
because
if
you
burn
that
bridge,
it's
going
to
be
trouble
in
the
long
run
and
then
celebrate
you
can
announce
your
position
to
your
family
and
friends.
D
And
then
you
get
to
the
onboarding
paperwork
piece
that
may
come
to
you
before
your
first
date
or
on
your
first
day,
and
that
is
the.
What
is
your
tax
withholdings
going
to
look
like
for
a
payroll?
We
need
a
copy
of
your
driver's
license
and
social
security
card.
What
do
you
want
for
benefits
so,
if
they're
sent
to
you
before,
fill
them
out
timely
return
them?
D
If
they're
not
sent
to
you
before
plan
on
bringing
your
driver's
license
and
social
social
security
card
to
your
first
day,
because
they'll
need
those
things
so,
for
the
first
day,
much
like
an
interview
arrive
early,
but
do
not
be
ridiculously
early.
Five
to
ten
minutes
should
do
it
bring
a
notebook
and
pen
in
person
or,
if
you're,
being
onboarded
online
you're
going
to
hear
so
many
buzzwords
in
your
new
job
and
you're,
not
gonna,
know
what
they're
saying
so.
D
This
is
your
chance
to
jot
notes,
make
eye
contact
with
somebody
and
plan
to
follow
up
later
to
ask
what
all
of
those
words
meant
and
if
you're
in
person
bring
your
lunch
just
in
case.
No
one
thought
to
take
you
out
on
your
first
day.
They
should,
but
you
want
to
be
prepared
if
you're
not
and
if
you
weren't,
sent
that
pre-hired
paperwork
bring
your
information
for
that
be
prepared
to
shake
a
lot
of
hands
and
meet
a
lot
of
people
be
authentic
and
genuine.
D
D
Do
not
check
your
phone
messages,
while
you're
in
meetings
with
people
do
not
look
at
your
watch,
while
your
meetings
with
people
be
present
beyond
that,
be
a
good
employee
and
teammate
plan
to
stay
in
this
role
for
a
while,
maybe
ideally,
two
years
before
you
move
on
set
a
reasonable
expectation
for
yourself.
This
is
your
first
job
you're
going
to
learn
a
lot.
You
might
not
set
the
world
on
fire
or
you
might,
and
it
doesn't
matter
it's
just
about
getting
this
experience
and
learning
from
it
learn
everything
you
can
about
the
company.
D
The
roles
ask
your
hiring
manager
if
it's
okay
to
schedule,
meetings
with
other
hiring
leaders,
so
you
can
learn
about
the
business
as
a
whole.
It'll
help
you
be
a
valuable
asset,
speak
up
with
opportunities
for
improvements.
It
is
not
your
hiring
manager's
job
to
map
out
your
career
path.
You
have
control
of
it,
so
keep
your
eyes
and
ears
open
and
make
those
connections.
F
F
Panelists
I
do
on
resumes
at
suzanne
here.
I
I
do
the
youth
program,
so
I
work
with
16
and
24
year
olds.
I
know
you
had
said
the
summary
statement.
Do
you
guys,
like
the
like
a
skill
section
up
top
where
it
has
like
one
words
like
because
is
that
still,
okay.
B
Yeah,
so,
like
your
keywords,
is
that
essentially
yep?
Absolutely
sometimes
I
see
those
on
the
bottom
of
the
resume,
sometimes
right
there
right
underneath
that
objective
statement,
but
either
way
yeah
as
long
as
it's
searchable
and
easily
easily
to
be
found.
Absolutely
great
point
yep
and
I.
C
Would
absolutely
support
that
too?
You
know
when
we
talked
about
the
chronological
versus
functional
resume.
Sometimes
people
go
the
functional
resume
route
because
they
like
the
ability
to
highlight
those
things,
but
you
can
place
those
skills
on
the
chronological
resume
so
that
you
can
have
a
nicely
ordered
resume.
That's
readable
with
the
skills
section.
B
B
D
Would
I
feel
like
with
hiring
managers,
we're
lucky
to
get
them
through
that
top
half
of
the
page
they're
going
to
want
to
dig
further
and
then,
if
you
just
start
talking
about
every
award,
you've
ever
won,
if
it's
not
relevant
to
the
role,
don't
put
it
on
there.
For
example,
I
had
somebody
who
put
they
scored
a
hole-in-one
on
a
golf
course.
That's
neat.
What
does
that
have
to
do
with
this
job?
D
That's
for
your
facebook
instagram,
whatever
profile
versus
the
resume
yeah.
F
F
D
I
think
that's
a
great
plan,
especially
if
they've
had
more
real-life
world
experience
than
say
the
educational
piece,
and
you
can
put
that
they
attended
the
high
school
and
just
not
put
a
graduation
date.
You
don't
need
to
call
attention
to
it,
but
you're
also
not
misstating
it
and
stick
to
putting
those
skills
and
opportunities
up
top
and
it
might
only
be
half
a
page
to
start.
But
I
don't
think
there
is
a
huge
expectation
from
hiring
managers
that
every
high
schooler
can
fill
a
page.
D
C
And
I
think
that's
where
it
gets
important,
especially
with
those
you
know,
students
who
didn't
graduate
and
to
tell
a
story
of
the
life
experiences
in
the
summary.
You
know,
you're
not
calling
it
out
that
you
didn't
graduate.
But
what
did
you
do
during
that
time?
That
is
setting
you
up
for
success
now.
F
B
You
know,
I,
I
think
it's
important.
You
know
a
lot
of
people
just
put
instead
of
putting
their
actual
address
on
a
resume.
They
just
put
location,
st
louis
missouri
or
whatever
that's
fair.
You
know
again,
we
kind
of
talked
about
that
email
address,
like
it
being
a
designated
email
address
for
your
job
search
and
if
people
aren't
comfortable
doing
a
phone
number.
That's
that's!
Okay,
too,
wherever
your
comfort
level
is.
D
D
I
wanted
to
point
out
one
thing
that
I
just
thought
about
now,
as
we
were
talking
about
those
resumes,
everyone
puts
their
gpa
on
there
from
college.
Perhaps
your
gpa
isn't
so
shiny
and
pretty
and
that's
okay,
you
do
not
have
to
put
it
on
there.
D
C
B
Absolutely
so
anything
that
you
do
above
and
beyond
the
regular
course
of
duty
when
it
re
with
respect
to
high
school
and
college.
I
would
certainly
include.
A
B
C
That
helps
to
tell
the
fuller
story,
especially
if
you
volunteered
for
a
cause
that
you
really
care
about.
It
tells
more
about
who
you
are
and
then
the
other
thing
that
it
does
is
it
creates
an
opportunity
for
another
connection.
So
maybe
that
person
knows
someone
who
also
volunteers
with
that
organization.
So
it's
going
to
start
a
conversation
and
and
further
that
relationship.
E
C
A
A
All
right
well!
